*HUMAN papillomavirus, *VACCINATION status, *MEDICAL screening, *VACCINE effectiveness, *EARLY detection of cancer, *GENITAL warts
Abstract

The age for starting cervical cancer screening for women who were fully vaccinated against human papilloma virus (HPV) in adolescence could be increased from 25 to 30 years. In Italy, some regional governments have revised their screening programs accordingly, though others haven't. Local data on the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine may be helpful in encouraging updates in the screening protocols. We conducted a case-control study based on routine-collected anonymized administrative health data to evaluate the outcomes of first round cervical screening in women living in the Udine area of Italy, according to their vaccinal status. In the study, we included women born between 1993 and 1997, those that were living in the Udine area from 2008 to 2022, and those that participated in the regional cervical cancer screening program for at least one round from 2018 to 2022 (n = 2191). Of these women, 850 had been fully vaccinated before 15 years of age, 887 were vaccinated at age 15 or later, 39 were incompletely vaccinated, and 415 had never been vaccinated. 2140 women had a negative pap-test result and 51 had some type of non-normal result. The odds ratio for having a non-negative result was 0.23 for vaccinated vs non-vaccinated women (95% confidence interval 0.13–0.40). Only 0.2% of vaccinated women had CIN2+ lesions compared to 1.0% of CIN2 and 2.6% of CIN3 of non-vaccinated women (odds ratio of CIN2+ was 0.10, 95% confidence interval 0.04–0.26). The first invitation to the regional cervical cancer screening could be delayed in women who were vaccinated against HPV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the increasing number of medical education topics taught with virtual reality (VR), the prehospital management of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) had not been considered. This article proposes an implemented VR system for STEMI training and introduces it in an institutional course addressed to emergency nurses and case manager (CM) doctors. The system comprises three different applications to, respectively, allow (a) the course instructor to control the conditions of the virtual patient, (b) the CM to communicate with the nurse in the virtual field and receive from him/her the patient's parameters and electrocardiogram, and (c) the nurse to interact with the patient in the immersive VR scenario. We enrolled 17 course participants to collect their perceptions and opinions through a semistructured interview. The thematic analysis showed the system was appreciated (n = 17) and described as engaging (n = 4), challenging (n = 5), useful to improve self-confidence (n = 4), innovative (n = 5), and promising for training courses (n = 10). Realism was also appreciated (n = 13), although with some drawbacks (e.g., oversimplification; n = 5). Overall, participants described the course as an opportunity to share opinions (n = 8) and highlight issues (n = 4) and found it useful for novices (n = 5) and, as a refresh, for experienced personnel (n = 6). Some participants suggested improvements in the scenarios' type (n = 5) and variability (n = 5). Although most participants did not report usage difficulties with the VR system (n = 13), many described the need to get familiar with it (n = 13) and the specific gestures it requires (n = 10). Three suffered from cybersickness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
